The New York Knicks<\/a> rode into the 2026 NBA All-Star<\/a> break on a winning note after demolishing the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> in a 138-89 road victory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Wednesday night. Trade deadline acquisition Jose Alvarado<\/a> led the Knicks in scoring with 26 points off the bench, while Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> secured another double-double behind a 21-point, 11-rebound effort. The win improves the Knicks to 35-20 on the 2025-26 campaign, while sending Philly to further down to Atlantic Division standings at 30-24.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was one of the easier viewings for Knicks fans this season. New York recorded consecutive 36-point scoring efforts in the opening quarters that left the visitors with a 30-point halftime advantage. New York\u2019s starting unit enjoyed a leisurely view from the bench as the final 10 minutes of the game drained off the clock in the lopsided win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are three more games on the NBA schedule on Thursday night before the NBA world shuts down for a brief break for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles, California. Jalen Brunson<\/a> will start for Team USA, while Towns will serve as a reserve for Team World. Both players are expected to appear for Team Knicks in the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars squad alongside New York legend Allan Houston<\/a>. The festivities for the NBA All-Star Game will take place between Feb. 13 and Feb. 15.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

New York returns from the All-Star break with a tough test against the Detroit Pistons (40-13) at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 19. The Knicks have 27 games remaining in the 2025-26 regular season before attempting to become the first team to secure the Emirates NBA Cup<\/a> and the NBA Championship in the same season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
